Comment 24 for bug 114312

Bad luck, I just saw it for the first time, with a tweast. I just powered up my laptop, after been shut for 2 days, and after several minutes I notice that he fan is working like hell, and I don't fell the computer hot. Putting my had on the left side to feel the temperature reveals that the fan is working "for fun". I opened up a console and typed:

watch -n1 cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/*

only to find out that the machine thinks it's at 77degrees, and not going down. It seems that the HW got crazy, and the measurements were wrong.

Does it happen to you?
